Developed to be comfy and practical, the Aliya Bag has a large main pocket, perfect for everything from snacks to keys, with a handy smaller pocket to keep your phone and purse close to hand. Sewn using a specially woven Oscha fabric which has been developed by our British Mill to be the optimal weight and density to give the Aliya Bag a sturdy feel without being bulky.
A unique, bronze Oscha ring, based on the traditional Scottish Annular brooch used to hold cloth and tartan clothing, decorates the Aliya Bag. Originally designed by Silversmith (and our own Marketing & Events Manager), Hannah Eccles, each ring is individually cast in a traditional foundry in Great Britain. The golden rings securing the straps are also made in Great Britain.
Piñatex®, a plant-based leather alternative, is used for the straps and base of the bag. Sustainably sourced and ethically made, this vegan fabric is made from pineapple-leaf fibres for a luxurious natural fabric which has a low environmental impact. Water-resistant and with a gorgeous textured look this fabric is a wonderful addition to our Aliya Bag.

I really love the design of this bag. The straps are comfortable and the right thickness. The overall shape is aesthetically pleasing. The strap doesn’t adjust, but I don’t like adjustable straps on handbags anyway, because I find tadjustment buckles gets caught in things and is rarely used anyway. Fabric is beautiful hard-wearing and vibrant and internal pocket is useful. All in all I love the materials and design and the pretty little charm on the side. I hope to get a Frodo Aliya in the future! One point of note – my mum thought the Aliya bags were beautiful but didn’t want to get one because she doesn’t feel comfortable with a handbag that doesn’t zip at the top for security reasons. I do think I would prefer it to zip, in at least one section. If you are a klutz like me it can prevents stuff tipping it your handbag when you drop it
